I have never been a big fan of doing business "Ala Carte"- that is, I get charged for every little thing. I believe you charge a price and provide the best possible product or service without tacky add ons…Enter American Bagel. I went in today to get a half dozen bagels at 65 cents each. When I asked them to cut them, he told me it would be a 40 cent charge to do that. To cut bagels? Absurd. Charge me 70 cents a bagel (or $1.50 like they do at the airport) and cut them for "free".
